Acting with Andrew C.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Lehigh University. I have studied abroad in Ireland at the Gaiety School of Acting, as well as participating in workshops run by the world renowned Tectonic Theatre Project. I have experience as a director, actor, designer, and technician, and can give students an overall view of the world of theatre. A musician has an instrument, an artist has an array of tools to visually express themselves, an actor has but the body and mind. As such, my lessons are geared towards not only strengthening knowledge of craft, but knowledge of self. When the student is strengthened in this way, these lessons assist not only on the stage, but in everyday life. Text is added last, so the actor may understand their flexibility, rather than being subjected to roles that inhibit them them from making bold choices. I encourage students to find their own voice, rather than implanting my voice into them. Each of them has amazing and unique potential, all they need is to be shown their strengths. *** Lesson Details *** Self discovery is the main focus of my lessons. Text (ie plays, musicals etc.) can be mastered more readily when the student learns of their flexibility in regards to art and life. *** Studio Equipment *** When text is introduced, the instructor will provide texts that the student/student's gaurdian is comfortable with. *** Travel Equipment *** I will be traveling by means of SEPTA transportation. *** Specialties *** Michael Chekhov Technique Vocal projection and diction Play Analysis
